Ecg Simulation Module

An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a technique that visually represents the electric current produced by the heart muscle during a heartbeat. This SIMTICS module instructs you on the preparation, recording, and interpretation of a 12-lead electrocardiogram. The interactive simulator enables you to acquire and apply the skills necessary to record an electrocardiogram, as well as to interpret the heart rate and rhythms for common pathologies. Online simulations provide a secure practice environment and allow you to experiment with procedures that you may not have had the opportunity to do in the past. If you are preparing for the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS) registry exams, this module is an excellent choice.



Explain the heart's anatomy and physiology.Determine the fundamental electrophysiology of the heart.Define the sinus mechanisms.Define atrial rhythms.Define junctional rhythms.Define ventricular rhythms.Define atrioventricular (AV) blocks.Define the rhythms of pacemakers.An explanation and demonstration of the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG)Define Holter monitoring and stress testing. The SIMTICS modules are all web-based and user-friendly. This implies that they are accessible at any time, provided that the learner has an internet connection. Other than a computer mouse for simulation purposes, no specialized hardware or equipment is necessary. Each SIMTICS module provides a comprehensive examination of a single procedure or subject. Each module comprises the following:an online simulation (available in Learn and Test modes)
